BUFFALO BILL.

by Lord Alfred Tennyson, as alleged.l
Thou long of hair, of stalwart form,
Whose true unerring aim can throw
And hit the bounding buffalo
And quickly make it very warm
For him. 0 thou of bloody scenes,
Who clashed in battles rudest Stock
With the wild Indians of New York
And grizzly bears of New Orleans.
Who scalped the Sioux on Boston's plains,
And thro wild Cincinnati's woods,
And Philadelphia solitudes
Lifted the covering from their brains.
Still let the Brooklyn river flow,
The wild Ohio ocean beat
Still let the shaggy bison feet
Tread Pittsburg's forests to and fro;
But thou begirt by London scenes
Shalt neer return to wander more
Thro' the waste wilds of Baltimore,
Or the deep woods of New Orleans.

To Straighten Stoop Shoulders.

Some time ago 1 noticed that some one
wanted to know what would tend to
straighten stoop shouldered girl.
The following movements, performed with
one pound wooden dumb bells, or as free
hand movements, will be found very benef-
cial if persevered in. The best time is upon
rising and retiring, as the body should not be
bound in any way by the clothing:
l. Arms extended horizontally in front,
with palms facing, hands clenchcd. Hold
the head erect and the chest out. Then draw
the hands in strongly, the elbows passing
close to the body and as far back as possible.
2. Same position except that the hands are
open. Swing the hands back to the side hori-
zontal position-as far back as possible.
8. Hands hanging in their natural position
at the sides. Raise the arms slowly, side
wise. until the backs of the hands touch above
the head keeping them as far back as possible.
Of course as erect q position as possible
must be maintained at all times. or the spe-
ial training will do no good. Do not be dis
couraged, for you have been getting that
stopped back for years, and you mustn't ex-
pect to straighten all Of sudden.
Above all things don't wear shoulder
braces They strengthen the muscles Of the
chest by the continual resistance, while the
back muscles are not called into action

4 RUDE AWAKENING.

She had a face surprising fair;
All men admired her beauty rare
And IL
Wen, ] adored her, nothing less;
To be with her was happiness
Three ply.
OF course she knew; she was not blind
She saw my plight. and che was kind
And good;
For when ! asked her if she'd wed
A chap like me, she blushed, and said
She would.
Oh. then the summer quickly flew
Till the time came to say adieu
One night.
She promised when ] went away
That every single blessed day
she'd write.
But her first letter drove me mad
Almost, with wild despair, for sad
To tell,
This lovely maid. for whom | yearned
So longingly, had never learned
To spell.

Company at the Eleventh Hour.

We think it great help to keep stored in
our pantry a quantity of prepared flour,
ready for the quick making of cake, dough-
nuts, fritters or biscuit, should company un-
expectedly arrive near the meal hour, or, we,
at the last moment, be requested to furnish a
tempting loaf of cake or plate of crullers for
some entertainment.
Against such emergencies we weigh into an
empty, clean barrel, twenty-five pounds Of
the best -four we can obtain, and sift into it
one package of Horsford's bread preparation.
Next. we take long handled spoon and
stir the flour till the preparation is thoroughly
whisked among the -four. Then we twice sift
the contents of the barrel and pack away
from air and dust as closely as possible.
When cake is wanted, or we are in imme-
diate need of company" biscuit, white and
feathery, we have only to measure cream and
sugar, whisk up our eggs, and pop in spices
and fruit; or, to simply measure sweet milk,
if biscuit, only, are wanted, and add flour till
the dough is of the right texture. Since the
introduction of this prepared flour in our
pantry, we have our cakes stirred and beauti-
fully baking in the same time that would re-
quire us, in the old way, to measure and free
of Jumps, cream of tartar, or acid and soda
and measure and sift every individual cup OF
-four. r.-Clarissa Potter in Good Housekeeping.

Summer Boarders as Missionaries.


The accident that sent out the first summer
boarder was seed falling on quick soil.
There was a struggle in the beginning to meet
the wants of the urbans; there was a decided
hostility toward the fussy beings who would
not drink from wells near which backdoor
slops and sink spouts dribbled, who objected
to flies, who did not like meat fried, who
wanted air, who could find pleasure in traps
ing through woods and meadows and bring
ing home green truck. But hostility or not,
the thing meant new gowns, a term at the
academy, another COW, an improved team,
mortgage lifted, attainment of the impossible.
And year by year the summer boarder came,
and with the money to spare from one the
house was painted for another; and with re-
sulting funds the fences were reorganized
and the porches came. 1t was she who, hav-
ing suggested the piazza, suggested the vines
for it; and so much done, the girls of the
house kept pace with flower garden of
their own.
And with the summer boarder came books
and magazines. and pleasant habits of talk,
sometimes music, usually gentle manners.
Occasionally one of the girls was invited for
glimpse of the city, bringing home matter
for marvel; and the end of it all was corrected
habits, corrected grammar, widened views,
homes transformed from ignorant drearipess
to neat attractiveness, libraries, pianos, grace
of furnishing, and country folk on level
with CITY folk OF course there were always
country folk who dwelt on the highest level
that there is; but to those who did not the
summer boarder has been city missionary

To Make Pumpkin Pies.

the "oldest inhabitant," that venerable indi-

made her pumpkin pies after this method:

a third of an inch or so, the measure not
always accurate Stew the pumpkin, spread
ON the mealed dish and bake an hour in a
brick oven or one before the fire. Fire places
were much in vogue in those days. That in

until Christmas, was hearty, healthy and

round, yellow pumpkin and home grown corn
meal. Methinks the newspapers of 1716 and
1900 contained few patent medicine cures for
the liver. The children of those far gone
days lived on "kettle loaf" and "bean por-
ridge" Hens were of the breed that did not
lay much, and all the butter was in the ''old
cows horn"
The wife of this "old inhabitant" concocted
her pumpkin pie after this method: "Pare
and stew the pumpkin; strain through col
ander, thinning with milk until the conss-
tency of thick cream, add salt, molasses
enough to sweeten to taste, tablespoon OF
ginger, a few pulverized cloves and an egg to

each pie. Bake on a paste in a cool oven an

Question a. 10 the City's Right to
Impose ~.

When the eases ON the regular Police
Court docket had been disposed of yes
terday morning Justice Richardson heard
argument in q matter in which the city is
largely interested, as it involves the right
OF a corporation to impose local taxes
on an express company's business.
he Baltimore and Ohio Express Com
.,4ly had been summoned TO show cause
wny a fine of $500 should not be i'm
,.osed upon them ior their failure to pay
the lcensc-tax of 800 imposed by the
City Council. The company answered
that there was no such corporation known
as the Baltimore and Ohio Express Com
pany: hut that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company vas doing business
in this city under the name OF the Baltl-
more and Ohio Express.
By consent the misnomer was cor
reclcd and the case heard upon its merits.
Major Robert Stiles appeared as counsel
for the defendant company and City
Attorney Chqrles V. Meredith repre-
srnted the city's interests
The facts in the case are these The
Richmond and Allegheny railroad Com
pauy did an express business here up to
May Ist. aad under the statute and a
former decision OF TIM, court, which was
concurrcd in by the City Attorney, was
exempted from tax on ITS express busi-
ness. On that date the Richmond aud
Allegheny Company sold out It's express
business 10 the Baltimore and Ohio Kail-
road Company, and On the lst of Sep
tcmber the latter sold ont to the United
States Express Company.
Msjor Stiles in his argument held tnat
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, by its
purchase OF the franchises from the Rich
mond and Alleqhauy, secured It's immuni-
" from taxation. lie made several other
points as to the right of the city OF Rich
rond 10 impose - hcense-tax upon that
class OF business.

tins right
